Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition should be dated to 1409-1410 as other petitions in this and the preceding file from Chancery Files 538 date to these years. However the petition is in English and the hand is far later. Inn addition, the petition clearly refers to the executors of Cardinal Beaufort, so that the petition can only date to after April 1447.
